What goose is this?!
« on: June 06, 2015, 08:49:00 pm »
Hello People,

I was wondering if anyone knew what goose this is? It got dumped with another goose and 8 ducks apparently, When I went down to check on them they were only 3 ducks and this goose which I thought was a greylag..anyone got any ideas what it is?

I don't know they've been dumped, I've been told they have. ;) but they all appeared at the same time which seems odd..

A Toulouse type, I would say. We have a large lake nearby in a Country Park and unwanted birds, especially drakes are regularly (set free) there.

Victorian Farmer- It does certainly look very much a like the ones you have pictured!  :o

Devonlady- I was thinking along the lines of a Toulouse type as well, This is the first time someone was dumped ducks/geese at this park, I have been feeding them with Duck&Goose Pellets which they seem to enjoy! :)
